The Buccaneers are viewing Tandy as a versatile defensive back who will likely also play extensively on special teams. "He's played nickel, dime, safety and corner," explained coach Greg Schiano. "He's played all four, and done it with some efficiency. Certainly not perfect, but some efficiency." Wed, Jun 27, 2012 04:24:00 PM

Tandy isn't particularly big or fast, but he can make plays on the football (13 interceptions in three college seasons) and is willing to mix it up physically. After giving Greg Schiano fits in the Big East, the Bucs had to have him. Tandy is expected to move from corner to safety in the not-distant future. Thu, May 10, 2012 09:56:00 AM

The Buccaneers believe that sixth-round CB Keith Tandy's best position in the future might be safety.

Tandy will open rookie minicamps as a cornerback, but he could eventually push FS Cody Grimm and/or earn the Bucs' third safety role as soon as training camp. Tampa Bay is starved for depth at both defensive back positions, so Tandy's versatility will come in handy. At 5'10/200, Tandy ran 4.51 at his Pro Day. Wed, May 2, 2012 07:40:00 PM

The Buccaneers believe that sixth-round CB Keith Tandy's best position in the future might be safety.

Tampa Bay is starved for depth at both defensive back positions, so Tandy's versatility will come in handy. At 5'10/200, Tandy ran 4.51 at his Pro Day.

A former quarterback recruit coming out of high school, Tandy converted to cornerback as a sophomore and started the next 40 games. His best trait is his physicality, consistently staying with receiver on downfield routes or driving the line to play the run. Tandy has some experience at safety in some alignments and his competitiveness should translate into special teams production.

Humphries is still in the concussion protocol, but he has now practiced two days in a row. He has a chance to be cleared in time for Week 14, but it is not a given. With Cecil Shorts out for the season, the Bucs need Humphries healthy.

Myers has one year left on his contract at a $1.75 million salary. He's behind Austin Seferian-Jenkins, youngster Cameron Brate, and Luke Stocker on the depth chart. Myers posted a 12-127-0 line on 321 snaps last season.

Sweezy spent the first half of the season on reserve/PUP and isn't healthy enough to practice, let alone play in games. Sweezy was extremely slow to recover from April back surgery, undoubtedly suffering setbacks in his rehab. The Bucs signed Sweezy to a five-year, $32.5 million contract in 2016 free agency.
